Seth Godin - The Smart One

Seth Godin is the smartest person ever! Just read five or seven of his books. How could anyone else come up with that stuff? They couldn't! He reminds me a little of myself (the bald head I mean - not the smarts).


Seth is my mentor!

The Top Five Reasons Seth Godin is the Smartest Person Ever

Seth Godin

  • He's got an awesome command of "out of the box" thinking (sorry about the "business cliche'".
  • I don't think he has any scatomas.
  • Seth Godin's amazing insight alone qualifies him as the smartest person ever.
  • Read a few of Seth's books and you'll soon learn why he's the smartest person ever.
  • Somebody has to be the smartest person ever - why not Seth?

How I chose Seth for this prestigious honor...

Having narrowed it down to two people - Albert Einstein and Alan Greenspan - I decided to flip a coin.

Heads would give it to Einstein and tales to Greenspan. Interestingly, the coin landed on its "edge" and rolled to a stop. Isn't this "remarkable" - I thought.

At that moment, I "sneezed" - upon opening my eyes - the room looked sort of "purple".

My "worldview" had changed, I heard a "moo" and then realized - Seth Godin deserved to named "The Smartest Person Ever."

What can I say? "All Marketers are Liars" ;)

Seth Godin & Charity

Seth Godin

Nothing would make Seth Godin more happy (at this very moment) than you making a donation to the Squidoo Charity. If you didn't know this already, Seth set up Squidoo such that it would (and does) provide a LOT of money to charity. Every Squidoo lens I own gives money to charity. I'm not sure about this, but I believe that Seth gives the money he makes from Squidoo to charity.

So, if you would like to make a donation to the Squidoo Charity, this is the place.

The Squidoo Charity Fund has raised hundreds of thousands of dollars for charity. Thanks to the Squidoo community, we've built schools in Cambodia, given underprivileged classrooms computers and software, funded important reseach against Juvenile Diabetes

Seth Godin's "Tribes"

Seth Godin

Seth's latest book is called "Tribes - We Need You To Lead Us", featured here. It's about leadership as much as it's about Tribes. If you're in business or work for a business, you should read this book. It blends right in with the social media boom going on in the world today.

Seth Godin's "Linchpin"

Are you a Linchpin?

The Dip: A Little Book That Teaches You When to Quit (and When to Stick)

by: Seth Godin

Amazon Price: $5.95 (as of 01/28/2012)Buy Now

The Dip might be the most practical book Seth Godin has written when it comes to usefulness for any person at any point in their life. At least, in my opinion, this is the most useful book he's written for anyone's daily life. It should be required reading in schools - that's how important this book is.
